You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Jerome Callet''' (April 24, 1930 – May 13, 2019)<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.silive.com/news/2019/05/jerome-callet-trumpet-player-and-designer-who-taught-music-on-si-for-decades-dies-at-89.html|title = Jerome Callet, trumpet player and designer who taught music on S.I. For decades, dies at 89|date = May 20, 2019))</ref> was a brass [[embouchure]] clinician, and designer of [[brass instrument]]s and mouthpieces.

Callet rediscovered the original brass embouchure technique utilized in Europe during the [[baroque era]], which at the time was only passed on verbally from trumpet guild members to their sons, and subsequently, by the great classical and jazz players of the first half of the 20th century. While this technique was described in written form within the first brass instruction books published in France in the late 1800s, as well as some American trumpet method books from the early 20th century, the instructions were mistranslated by subsequent generations of teachers, altering the trajectory and quality of brass playing and instruction for the past 100 years. Callet subsequently began creating and manufacturing his own line of trumpets and mouthpieces, for he believed that most modern trumpet equipment was designed to compensate for the failures of modern trumpet playing and teaching.

Born April 24, 1930, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Callet began his trumpet studies at age thirteen after being inspired by two fellow students, Cal Massey and Tommy Turrentine, at Herron Hill Junior High School in Pittsburgh. Although he subsequently studied with several well known and accomplished trumpet instructors in the Pittsburgh area and dedicated himself laboriously to mastering the instrument, by the age of thirty Callet could still not play a high C. In 1947, after many years of struggle, Callet began researching the physical elements necessary to develop a "Super Power Embouchure", such as those developed by players such as [[Harry James]], [[Charlie Shavers]], [[Horst Fischer (musician)|Horst Fischer]], [[Maurice André|Maurice Andre]], and [[Maynard Ferguson]]. In 1970, at the age of 40, and after much trial and error, Callet had developed his new embouchure, and named it Superchops. The Superchops embouchure methodology eventually led him on the quest to design and produce the best trumpets and mouthpieces available.
 
Callet's involvement with the business of instruments began with sixteen years in sales (1953–1968) for [[Elden Benge]], followed by eight years of experience with Dominick Calicchio (1968–1975). He absorbed much of his knowledge of trumpet making from these two brilliant men. With this rich background and his talent as an accomplished machinist, Mr. Callet was able to release his first line of trumpet mouthpieces in 1973, and his first trumpet under his own brand name in 1984.<ref>((cite book |title=Sound the Trumpet: How to Blow Your Own Horn |url=https://archive.org/details/soundtrumpethowt00harn |url-access=limited |last=Harnum |first=Jonathan |page=[https://archive.org/details/soundtrumpethowt00harn/page/n278 266] |year=2006 |publisher=Sol-Ut Press |isbn=978-0-9707512-7-0 ))</ref><ref>((cite news |title=Neil Yates – Trumpet and flugelhorn |url=http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/the-player-mainmenu-131/10874-neil-yates-trumpet-and-flugelhorn |work=[[Jazzwise]] |date=June 26, 2009 |access-date=January 11, 2010 ))</ref> In 1973, he also developed a line of mouthpieces to complement his embouchure theories. In the meantime, he taught embouchure technique in Pittsburgh (1960) and New York (from 1972 to April 2019).
 
The fulfillment of his quest to create the best brass instruments possible culminated with his "New York Soloist" B♭ trumpet, released in 2013 (built by Kanstul), and his 1ss, 1sc, and 1sb trumpet mouthpieces, released in 2017 (built by Jim New). Callet's historical legacy of trumpet manufacturing is represented by his "Sima Bb", "Sima C", "Sima D/Eb", "Jazz Bb", "Superchops Bb", "Symphonique Bb", "Symphonique C", "Stratosphere Bb", and previous "Soloist Bb" trumpets, as well as his "Grand Prix" [[flugelhorn]], his earlier "Jazz" and "NY" flugelhorns, and his "Jazz" trombone. More than 6,000 Callet trumpets and 15,000 Callet mouthpieces were manufactured overall. 
 
Callet published five books on trumpet embouchure and technique, including ''Trumpet Secrets'' (2002), ''Beyond Arban'' (1991), ''Superchops'' (1987), ''Brass Power and Endurance'' (1974), and ''Trumpet Yoga'' (1971), as well as the ''Master Superchops'' DVD (2007). Callet also conducted brass embouchure clinics in the United States, Canada, Germany, Finland, Switzerland, France, Denmark, Hungary and Japan.
